TiO 2 thin and thick films were deposited on silicon/glass substrates using RF inductive plasma in continuous wave. The films thickness, as well as phases control, is achieved with a gradual increase in temperature substrates varying supplied RF power or working gas pressure besides deposition time as well. The deposition conditions were: argon 8%/oxygen 2% carefully calibrated mixture of 2 to mbar as working gas pressure range. Deposition time.5 to 5 hours, 5 or 6 W RF power at MHz frequency and o C substrates temperature range. The titanium dioxide deposited on the substrates is grown by sputtering of a titanium target negatively polarized at 3-5 kv DC situated 14 mm in front of such substrates. The plasma reactor is a simple Pyrex-like glass cylindrical vessel of 5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter. Using the before describe plasma parameters we obtained films only anatase and both anatase/rutile phases with stoichiometric different. The films were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), stylus profilometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. 1. Introduction The titanium dioxide (TiO 2) has been reported as one material for applications in different areas as agent antibacterial, antimicrobial on prostheses and catheters [1-4], as a photocatalytic vehicle in the water purification and in the atmospheric pollutants such as (NO x) and volatile organic compounds (VOC s) [5-6]. In such analysis, Blake [7] identified about 6 patents and found about 5 additional references were found in the form of journal and conferences papers. Now today, has been reported applications in the visible light as photocatalytic agent and optoelectronic employment [8]. There are several reports to obtain TiO2 thin films that have been mainly prepared by various methods such as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition [9], sputtering [1]. In comparison with other methods, sputtering deposition is one of the widest techniques employed for obtaining large area coatings and strong adhesion. The reactive sputtering technique, for coating nanocrystalline TiO2 thin films, are mainly employed radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC). In other hand, the reactive DC+RF sputtering technique provide a wide range for to vary the sputtering parameters such as total Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3. licence.

In these experiments, we observed that the crystal structure and chemical composition of deposited films varied with the employed plasma parameters, as well as the rate of the sputtering from the target. The objective of this work is to obtain TiO 2 thin or thick films in anatase or rutile phases by controlling the temperature of substrates. This temperature depends on the density of the plasma, which is a function of the RF power and the working gas pressure keeping the rate for Ar and O 2 constant. 2. Experimental details TiO 2 thin and thick films were deposited on glass slides and silicon wafer, the temperature was kept between C by the action of the plasma alone, that is to say, the temperature substrates depend only plasma density, the gas working pressure and the RF power supply plasma reactor, the deposited films on glass and silicon by the sputtering action were situated 14 mm from titanium target. For this experiment, the target consisted in titanium commercially pure (CpTi) piece cylindrical of 9 mm in diameter and 5 mm long, the dimensions of the substrates were 2 2 mm with glass and 1 1 mm for the silicon. Deposited films were obtained in a home Pyrex-like glass cylindrical vessel of 5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter by sputtering process. The plasma density was controlled by the working gas pressure and RF power supply. In this experiment we employed a calibrated mixture of 4:1 argon/oxygen gas mixture from to mbar preview the vessel was to <5 1-6 mbar pressure base, one RF power supply between 5 and 6 W connected to copper pipe antenna wounded helicoidal cylindrical vessel through an automatic coupling network and one power supply between -3 and -5 kv DC that polarize the target. Figure 1 shows a diagram of the sputtering system preview reported [11]. Figure1. Schematic diagram of the experimental sputtering system. The crystalline structure of the films deposited on silicon wafers were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using monochromatized AlKα X-ray source (hν= ev), the recorded spectra of all films were referenced to the C1s line of the residual carbon set at ev, the thickness of the films were determined by a stylus profilometer, the crystallinity of the films were carried out with an X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) using CuKα radiation lambda= angstroms from 2 o to 9 o scan range set applied voltage 35 kv/25 ma and Raman spectroscopy, the surface morphologies, the stoichiometry (titanium:oxygen ratio) and the atomic percentage in the sputtered films analyzed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 2

The Fig. 6 and 6 Spectra confirm the presence of anatase phase grown on silicon and glass substrates at temperatures below 3 o C. Difference in shift (cm -1 ) recorded in the graphics is due to a light contrast to the growth of the anatase since silicon and glass substrates differ in their material structure. 4. Conclusions In this research, we use a plasma reactor inductively coupled to RF generator with which was obtained TiO 2 thin and thick films in anatase and rutile phases by means sputtering of a target of titanium, in this sputtering process, titanium atoms sputtered target and oxygen atoms generated by plasma were deposited on silicon and glass substrates. Atomic concentrations of 6 at.% atoms of titanium and 3 at.% atoms of oxygen obtained by SEM leads to a stoichiometry 2 only in target. In contrast, the atomic concentrations obtained by SEM for the TiO 2 films on silicon and glass substrates were of the order of 75 at.% of oxygen and 25 at.% titanium respectively, it is considered that this rate stoichiometry of 3:1 is due to two reasons: 1) substrates have a percentage of oxygen bigger than target and 2) the applied voltage in the SEM was 2 kv, this rate low to 2 when 15 kv is applied in SEM. Color changes of the films during and the end the oxidation process, the concentric circular patterns suggest the evolution of the composition structure thickness and is related to the deposited film depth. The deposited anatase and rutile phases did not require any additional annealing after the oxidation. Acknowledgements This project has been partially founded by CONACyT-México.
